- Picture from Marty's Quad Cities NSRA album. Is this a '57 Ford Fairlane? The trim on the side looks different than what I see on the AMT '57 Ford Fairlane 500 boxart. Or is it a different trim level? *PIC*

- That Maverick makes me wish Moebius had their kit out *NM*
- Heard on the radio today that Greg Kihn passed a couple days ago. He didn't have a lot of songs in the top 40 but the ones he did have were really good. *NM*
- Heard that myself yesterday. "The Breakup Song" is one of my all-time faves. *NM*
- Saw the Greg Kihn Band live when they were the opening act for Journey on the Escape Tour (1982). *NM*
- I have never heard of him before (I listen to mostly country), but I listened to the two mentioned above, and he sounds pretty good. *NM*
- I always thought it was "Work In Progress". *NM*
- Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
- Man, I do not remember ever seeing a car like the one in the first pic. The grill just does not look familiar to me. What year is that? And who is the dude with looong hair, and a yella car? *NM*
- That's a '67 Dart, first year for that body style *NM*
- I'm really diggin' that big purple C body and the groovy mod-top!!! *NM*
- Thanks Bill!! *NM*
- are the rear fenders on the modtop cut out like a Hemi dart *NM*
- Thanks for the Hershel McGriff pic. Big fan of his. *NM*
- I don't believe I've ever seen a Dodge Aspen R/T with green stripes before. *NM*
- This just in: legendary dirt late model racing icon Scott Bloomquist killed in a plane crash. He was 60. *LINK* *PIC*
- As a survivor, I am glad your prognosis is good. It is amazing how far science has come in dealing with cancer. Best wishes for a successful outcome for you. *NM*
- OK, but no Whip cars. A few tastfeully modified late model Chargers, but nothing that "meets the definition" of a whip. *NM*
- Straight Line Friday!
- Another forgotten pickup. The 1976 International Scout Terra. *PIX* and *LINK*
- Looks great!! *NM*
- Nice work. I like the paint scheme, too. *NM*
- I'm a thumbs up.... pretty nice, No really nice. *NM*
- Re: I like it!,really nice job!! *NM*
- Looks exactly like the '78 Terra featured in the July/Aug 2024 issue of Vintage Truck.
- Nice undetectable strech. *NM*
- What a great build! *NM*
- Absolutely nailed it!!! *NM*
- Looks great! *NM*
- Cool idea! *NM*
- Anyone build the AMT Peterbilt wrecker? I'm trying to come up with a project for the winter. Something I wouldn't normally consider. *NM*
- Thought you could list the 22 Corvette without anyone noticing huh? Well, I got ya! Ordered one from you all. Been waiting for it. *NM*
- Rdean58 !?! WRVUBIN??? Haven't seen you on the board for a long while... *NM*
- Here you thought you could slide in and post without anybody noticing. Like Raymond asked, WRVUBIN!? Hopefully enjoying summer. *NM*
- They would probably have to partner up with one of the big boys. I wish Round 2 was interested. They could do the distribution and licensing. *NM*
- If you still owe money on the first, you probably aren't getting the second *NM*
- Something that might be of interest the rail fans here... It has been brought to my attention, that Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 will once again be steaming through my area with stops in Sterling and Rochelle (Illinois)... September 6th and September 7th.... *PIC*
- Which company released (or is going to release) a stock DeLorean without all that BTTF stuff? *NM*
- Pretty sure it's Aoshima, who made several BTTF versions earlier *NM*
- You're right Mark... Aoshima with an October release date... Can't wait... Gorgeous car without the "accoutrements"... *NM* *PIC*
- Looks good, but extremely poor build quality on the original cars. I remember looking one over at a new car show back then, by far the worst one there *NM*
- They had a lot of problems with QC when new. They had to basically rebuild the cars (lots of fit and finish problems) when they got to the states. *NM*
- Friend of mine (Tom the guy I bought my 61 Impala from) bought one a year or so old thinking he would make a killing from... Well things didn't end well could sell it. 2-3 yrs later he sold it or I should say traded it for a Mid-Year Corvette which he made up his money. *NM*

- PAINT CURING QUESTION: I remember reading years ago that lacquer cures from the top down (inward), enamel cures from the bottom up (outward). Is that true? If so, what does a dehydrator do the gassing out/curing process? *NM*
- I should know this, so apoligies in advance: What year is the "American Violence" 1/24 Trans Am by Otaki?
- I'm thinking '86. *NM*
- 1974 *NM*
- Bob, wasn't there a resin company that did a '74 or '75 a while back? ,, What was that name again, I can't seem to remember. *NM*
- What was the american violence series supposed to be? A road warrior thing or something else ? *NM*
- 'nother quake here in So. Cal!!! *NM*
- Preliminary 4.0 in Lake Elsinore, about 12 to 15 miles north of me. *NM*
- TV stationses here have Lucy Jones from Caltech on speed dial, and always ask her the same questions about "foreshocks" and aftershocks and the potential for the "Big One".
- Hang it from something in a straight length and a few light coats of red oxide primer . Flip and hang from other end repeat to cover bare inside loops , Then a couple of light dustings from a distance to add the texture
- Finished PICs. This is a model I probably wouldn't have purchased except a retired Marine had just started a new business and I meet her at the Houston show a couple weeks ago. She and her father had built models when she was a kid and after her retirement she started....
- Best of luck Dave, I know first hand the fear of the word cancer strikes in your heart. *NM*
- Mmmmm.......... *NM*
- Ford tires I spray right over the bare resin. For the rest I use a basic automotive spray bomb primer. *NM*
- Is there a file available to print from, or does one need to be created? *NM*
- Bear in mind the Powell truck was to be produced by Okey Spalding's "Jo-Han". The new outfit trading under a similar name is not related. *NM*
- Personally, I would've thought thst the number of model builders who would be interested in a kit of the Powell pickup. would be below a couple thousand or so....but what do I know?
- That stuff is 3D print...get an order for one, they make one...
- That list is from Too Many Projects (Robert Burns). His 3D prints are really nice. *NM*
- I love the big full-sized C-body’s from the mid ‘70’s by GM. The problem is most 3D printer’s can’t do the front windshield opening correctly. Johan was the only one to get it right followed by MPC with their Impala/Caprice. I still liked Johan better *NM*

- I see what you're doing... To add to it antenna hole sits empty. *NM*
